These moving web thickness and weight measurement systems<\/a> provide efficient production of uniform, reliable, functional products. They come in a wide range of online, non-contact basis weight or thickness measurement gauges for flat-sheet applications in the plastics, rubber, and textiles industries. However, in order to meet the tightest specifications in the most challenging measurement environments, manufacturers have to ensure they choose the right system.<\/p>\n
